of his very prettiest touches-those in

to see that Dickens, who has long left
off alluding to the A. s works, has been

flying his style, and overcoming the nse

In Zola's "Ventre de Paris" the hero
Florent, who has escaped from Cayenne,
tells a story of one of his comrades who
stuck in the mud while trying to get
away from the penal settlement, and
was devoured by land crabs. The
story is founded on fact, for NJ. Ranc
relates that the fate which overlook
Florent's friend really befell Planori,
the son of the italian shoemaker, who
in 1865 attempted to shoot the Emperor
Napoleon Ill at the opera, and was
afterward executed Planori, Jr., was
in London at the time, but when he
came to Paris, says London Telegraph
correspondent, he was arrested by
order of the imperial Government as a
dangerous person. He was banished
to Cayenne, and was placed, with forty
others, all Republicans, on DevaPs
Island, a place from which it was so
difficult to escape that no supervision
was exercised over the convicts. The
Republicans, however, vowed to have
their freedom or death, and a raft was
constructed with which they expected
to reach Dutch Guiana. Out of the
forty thirty-five only reached their des-
tination, and these were raying mani
acs, owing to hunger, thirst, heat, and
privation. Three died from sunstroke.
